If and when Mascherano leaves, who should Liverpool sign to replace him?
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on August 6, 2010 | 21 Comments
It would appear fairly certain that Javier Mascherano will leave Liverpool before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month which would then leave Roy Hodgson on the look-out for a new midfielder.
Plenty of names have already been linked with a move to Anfield in recent weeks and if you believe some reports, Liverpool are close to signing Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen.
Even if Poulsen does sign, I, like many others, believe Hodgson will still buy a new central midfield player in the coming weeks. I have said it before, I reckon West Ham’s Scott Parker would be an excellent addition to the Liverpool squad but with the Hammers understandably reluctant to sell one of their star players, it would take a big offer to bring the former Chelsea midfielder to Merseyside.
So if and when Mascherano does leave, who should Liverpool sign to replace him? Please leave your comments below.

That little fella Fabregas looks pretty good. Let’s have him.
August 6th, 2010 @ 8:11 PM
Milner, Lasssna diarra or de rossi
August 6th, 2010 @ 8:18 PM
i believe we should sign ex chelsea and arsenal medfielder Diara from real madrid
August 6th, 2010 @ 8:19 PM
James milner or defour only 2 I would buy
August 6th, 2010 @ 8:27 PM
we should sign defour or banega in the midfield rather that poulsen and sell licas for good and give shelvey and spearing some 1st team action
August 6th, 2010 @ 8:31 PM
not bein funny or tryin to put you lot down because i have no problem with liverpool now that fat spanish knob head has left, but you lot are dreaming a bit.
no way in hell would roma sell de rossi, if i was you lot i would go for flamini, hes out of favour at milan and hes well suited to the PL.
August 6th, 2010 @ 8:55 PM
i too would like parker but he’s too expensive so i would probably go for flamini, young at 26, with PL experience and will get a few goals.
NOT POULSEN!

no need to waste money LFC fans, need to not slag off lucas that kid is brilliant so wake up you poor football minded people.jct 2 m6
August 6th, 2010 @ 9:10 PM
I think Flamini fits the bill…Already played Premier League for a couple of years and has got what it takes to endure the long football schedule
August 6th, 2010 @ 9:41 PM
Steven defour or banega and taiwo or michel bastos as left back with the remaining money from his sale
August 6th, 2010 @ 10:01 PM
Lee Cattermole or
Nigel Reo-Coker

I don’t think if Poulsen and Parker will be an ideal/right replacement for Marsherano, Liverpool will never win the title with such kind of players. I advice Roy to look for Javier Martinez, Steven Defour, Xabi Alonso and Benega. All these can provide some creativity at the midfield which had lost since the departure of Alonso.

flamini proven in the prem. at 26 poulson is 30 and would be a risk we can’t aford

I really dont understand when people say Lucas is crap/sell him. you need a SQUAD, not just a first 11! Centre midfield will be, attacking – 1st choice Gerrard, backup Aquilani. Defensive midfield ??? first choice, backup Lucas.
We need a QUALITY defense midfield who can pick a quality pass. I’d say yea to defour, maybe. but people saying Milner, PARKER!, Poulsen really need to start using their heads!.
Milner – Over-rated and attacking!
Parker – If u think he’s quality then i wont say anything else, and almost 30 for £15m!!!!
Poulsen – OK… but again 30 and need really good enough.
De rossi!! amazing but we’d never afford him (take-over maybe) but we shouldn’t bank on that.
Being realistic, £25m for masch, £10m on a dm, £15m on a backup striker and what-evers rest for a LB.
Fingers crossed we get new owners before the window closes!!!!
YANKS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be happy with Banega or Defour or Diarra but i would prefer Lucas to play ahead of Poulsen i just do not rate him.
August 7th, 2010 @ 1:52 AM
I would go for schweinsteiger he is made for that position and way better than masherano. We need a striker and I would go for adibayor, he would welcome a move to anfield.
August 7th, 2010 @ 2:53 AM
liverpool should buy nigel de jong or sergio busquet to replace mascherano
August 7th, 2010 @ 2:57 AM
Anthony Annan.
Ghanaian International. Aged 23. Strong and knows when to play the ‘right ball’ as Paisley used to say.
Plays in Norway at the moment and Chelsea and Man Utd have shown interest.
August 7th, 2010 @ 6:31 AM
if when mascherano leaves liverpool i won’t to replace him poulsen
August 7th, 2010 @ 7:53 AM
Of ppl that would be available i rather have Diarra, with Flamini as a second choice.
August 7th, 2010 @ 7:59 AM
Banega and Turan
